william alwyn - study of a spider lyrics
from holy flower to holy flower
thou weavest thine unhallowed bower
the harmless dewdrops, deaded thin
ripple along thy ropes of sin
thy house a grave, a gulf thy throne
affright the fairies every one
thy winding sheets are gray and fell
imprisoning with nets of h+ll
the lovely births that winnow by
winged sisters of the rainbow sky
elf+darlings, fluffy, bee+bright things
and owl+white moths with mealy wings
and tiny flies, as gauzy thin
as e’er were shut electrum in
these arе thy death spoils, insect ghoul
with their dеar life your fangs are foul
thou felon anchorite of pain
who sittest in a world of slain
hermit, who tunest song unsweet
to heaving wind and writhing feet
a glutton of creation’s sighs
miser of many miseries
toper, whose lonely feasting chair
sways in inhospitable air
the board is bare, the bloated host
drinks to himself toast after toast
his lips require no goblet brink
but like a weasel he must drink
the vintage is as old as time
and bright as sunset, pressed and prime
ah, venom mouth and sh+ggy thighs
and paunch grown sleek with sacrifice
thy dolphin back and shoulders round
co+rs++hairy, as some goblin hound
whom a hag rides to sabbath on
while shuddering stars in fear grow wan
thou palace priest of treachery
thou type of selfish lechery
i break the toils around thy head
and from their gibbets take thy dead
